n. The proud man throws his
head back; the fine man carries his head erect; vanity draws
the head on one side, with the hat on the opposite side; the
intellect presses the head forward; the affections throw it
back on the shoulders; and so with the rest."

The Right Honorable Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE is created a peer with the
title of Baron Broughton de Gyfford, in the county of Wilts. His fame in
literature has long been lost, in England, in his reputation as a
politician; but in this country we know him only as rather a clever man
of letters. His most noticeable works that we remember, are, _A Journey
through Albania, in 1809, Illustrations of the Fourth Canto of Childe
Harold, The State of Literature in Italy_, and two volumes entitled
_Letters from Paris during the last Reign of Napoleon_. His lordship
must be in the vicinity of seventy-five years of age.

Of "JUNIUS" there is still another book--though many good libraries
contain not so many volumes as have been written upon the subject--and
the journals have almost every month some new contributions to the
mystery, increasing the accumulation by which the face of the author is
hidden. The last work is entitled "Fac-simile Autograph Letters of
Junius, Lord Chesterfield and Mrs. C. Dayrolles, showing that the wife
of Mr. Solomon Dayrolles was the amanuensis employed in copying the
letters of Junius for the printer; with a Postscript to the first Essay
on Junius and his Works: by William Cramp, author of 'The Philosophy of
Language.'"

The _Passions of the Human Soul_, by Charles Fourier, translated from
the French by the Rev. John Reynell Morell, with critical annotations, a
biography of Fourier, and a general introduction, by Hugh Doherty, has
been published by Baliere of London (and of Fulton-street, New-York), in
two octavos. This is one of Fourier's greatest works, and the attention
given to his principles of society in this country will secure for it
many readers here.

THOMAS COLLEY GRATTAN, the author of _Highways and By-ways, Jacqueline
of Holland_, &c., and a few years ago, British Consul at Boston, is
coming to this country to give lectures. He will not be very
successful.
